Our Managing Director Peter Haigh explains:

Just like all councils across the UK, Bristol City Council has to follow strict procurement processes when choosing suppliers, including where they get their energy from. So although we are owned by Bristol City Council, it doesn’t automatically mean we can win contracts for supplying electricity and gas to their corporate estate. And this is the way it should be - a fair competitive process.

Ynni Teg is a community energy scheme in the foothills of Carmarthenshire in Wales.

Fair energy for the community

Meaning ‘fair energy’ in Welsh, Ynni Teg is a perfect partner for us at Bristol Energy.

Its 40 metre wind turbine provides energy for our My Green Plus customers. And because it’s a social enterprise, profits made by selling the energy will support the surrounding community, including its local primary school.
